I have had 3 shots of Leqvio. Back pain after every shot. Worsened with each one. Red spots on skin. Worse after each shot. Third shot triggered severe yeast infection. I’m done with it.

@jayscott, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I’m sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing these symptoms.

I noticed you also shared your experience in another Leqvio discussion about rising fasting blood sugar. In that post, you mentioned back pain, red spots on your skin, and increased blood sugar after your injections. Thank you for sharing those details in both discussions. They may help other members experiencing similar symptoms connect and learn from one another.

Here’s a link to your earlier comment:
- Connect Discussion: anyone else get rising fasting blood sugar from taking Leqvio shots?

You mentioned being on your fourth injection in September, and here you describe worsening symptoms following your third injection. Could you clarify how many injections you’ve received and whether the symptoms continued or changed?

Have you had an opportunity to discuss these reactions with your prescribing doctor? Has your doctor been able to help determine what might be related to Leqvio, and have you discussed next steps or other treatment options?

I hope you’ll keep us updated on what you learn. Your experience, including how you and your care team evaluate these symptoms, could be helpful to others considering or receiving this treatment. That includes @dec2022, who originally started this discussion.

@jayscott That sounds horrible or.. I start on Nov 11th. Trembling !
